Aims:
Students will learn to make simple experiments, to observe the world, to solve problems and learn to be a learner in a modern world.
Students will learn to cooperate with students from other countries.
Students will naturally learn to use new technologies as a part of their education.

Work process:
1. Preparation of project:
Teachers will explain students aims of the project.
Students will be given the Internet addresses where they can find the experiments.
Teacher will enroll students to the twinspace.
2. Formation of groups:
Students will form working groups in each class of two or three members.
Students can also perform experiments individually.
The groups will prepare their intruduction (photos, PowerPoint presentations, videos) and short introduction of their shools, towns and countries.
3. Election of experiments:
Each working group will select three or four experiments.
Each teacher assigned to each group one experiment.
Make contact with groups from different centers that have allocated the same experiment. It opens a forum for eTwinning so students can share their experiences and compare results.
4. Do the experiments:
Each group develops in-class experiments assigned.
The teacher will be responsible for recording the experiments
5. Preparation of Project Blog:
Edit the project blog.
Upload videos to YouTube.
Each teacher will rise to the blog experiments developed by their students.
We will ask the students to visit the blog and add comments.
6. Preparation of some murals explaining the project:
Each working group will prepare a posters on the experiments.
They will organize an exhibition in the school with posters to publicize the results of the project.

Expected results:
Blog with experiments Exhibition of posters
